1 (ETHC) JHU-CTY Course Syllabus Required Items: Ethical Theory: An Anthology 5 th ed. Russ Shafer-Landau. Wiley-Blackwell The Fundamentals of 2 nd ed. Russ Shafer-Landau. Oxford University Press A notebook for completing writing assignments Course Description: is the study of how we ought to live. Since the ancient Greeks, philosophers have held ethics as one of the most important fields in philosophy because of its intimate ties with everyday life. During the first part of this course we will consider and critique different principles and theories which purport to explain what makes an action right or wrong, and what sort of character traits we ought to develop. In the second part of the course we will investigate the status of ethical theories and claims. We will attempt to discover whether there are objective truths about how we ought to live, or if ethics is ultimately a matter of subjective opinions and desires. In the final part of the course we will consider some practical ethical issues such as global poverty and animal welfare. Course Objectives: This course will serve as an introduction to philosophy in general and to philosophical ethics in particular. You will learn to recognize arguments and to assess them critically. You will gain practice in employing the philosophical tools of critical analysis in your own thinking and writing. You will lean to conduct research in philosophy and to organize the findings of your research into written form. You will consider the positions of historical thinkers such as Plato, Mill, and Kant, as well as those of contemporary philosophers such as Derek Parfit and Peter Singer. You will gain understanding of specific topics in ethical theory such as consequentialism, deontology, and ethical non-naturalism Expectations: You will be expected to read and analyze material from the course texts and handouts. You will also be expected to attend and participate in class. The instructors will attempt to provide interesting and informative material for you to read, give helpful lectures, provide assignments and activities that challenge and stimulate interest, be available to answer any questions you may have, and provide fair and timely evaluations of your achievement. Assignments: There will be occasional quizzes throughout the session. There will be a term paper assignment which will require you to construct an argument for or against a particular ethical view covered during the session. You will give formal presentations of your paper followed by a question and answer session with the audience (classmates, instructors, and other CTY staff members). In addition to these individual assignments there will also be many group assignments including formal debates, skits, presentations, and art projects.
2 Academic Integrity: We encourage you to discuss the material from this course with others. You must write the term paper on your own. Additionally, we expect students to be polite to each other and to the instructors. A polite person might say, I respect you and your intellect such that if I disagree with you, I will attempt to show you that my beliefs are right until you are convinced, or I am convinced that I am wrong. The subject matter of this course is often controversial, and involves beliefs forged by emotional experiences and family background. We will never make fun, ridicule or berate people in this class for holding a particular belief, but we may question a position in order to better understand and, perhaps, come to appreciate it. Also, please refrain from disrupting class (Turn cell phones, watch alarms etc. OFF; do not chat with classmates).
